slaughter of the soul
This weekend was awesome (in greatest detail for your reading pleasure), Friday night, Mom gave me 30$ for my birthday and got me a new printer. Jason and I went to the train station to pick up Mahi, went to gas station, Mahi bitched about cigarettes being cheaper here, then we went to McDonalds and I got a ton of food, even though I was full, Mahi bought it for me cause it was my birthday. After we all got full we left, got on highway 34, and were on our way, on the way we listened to Slipknot, told ghost stories, and talked about a lot of other stuff, we finally got in iowa city at like 8, it started snowing right when we got into town, we went to Tylers to hang out and see Tyler and Tiff. Tyler was playing a sweet computer game called Mafia, we watched him play that for awhile, and tried to give Steven directions to Tylers but he kept getting lost or going the wrong way. Tyler showed us the DTYK music video, it's sweet, their new cd is ganna be really fucking sick, you should all buy it when it comes out. After all that we go out side and realize it's snowed a fucking lot in the past couple hours, saw who could slide the farthest on the snow Tyler won, we were sliding like 25 feet or so it was sweet. So then we go to Hy-Vee to get stuff to drink, then go to Gabes to meet Chris, good friend of mine, new Death To Your King drummer, really nice guy. See a lot of people I know, watched kids get messed up on the slick sidewalk, Then we all went to Nates I got to see TIFFANY! for the first time in like half a year, hopefully she'll come visit me and Nic this weekend that would be toooo sweet. After hanging out there for awhile everybody left to go back to Tylers, except me cause I was comfortbale on nates couch half asleep, so at like 5 am I went to sleep. Woke up at like 11, and every hour in between, was really fucking hungry so Amanda? too me, Kyle and Megan to McDonalds after we all showered, then we all came back, and everybody was back from Tylers and Patrick was there, and it was time to practice, we had to load up amps and stuff and move them across the street to Lancasters, we started practicing, the drum set Jason was using was really quiet and wasnt very good so it was difficult Pat broke a bass string, and Jason broke a bass drum head, so they all went to a music store, came back, we practiced a little more, than loaded all of our stuff up into Nates Durango and some of the stuff went in Jasons car, and some went in Joes. we hung out for a bit and then went to Gabes, went and grabbed a bite to eat with Jeff, Jason, Caleb, and Mahi, went back watched Torch The Morgue, then set up and stuff, played pretty decent(even with Pat and Nate being drunk), a hell of a lot better than we did in Burlington the next day, a bunch of kids danced, thanks to those who did. After the show, we all loaded stuff out the front door of Gabes into Nates Durango, Jason and Joes cars again. Went back to Nates where the "after party" took place haha. It was sweet, everybody was there at one time or another, Ellesworth, Kyle, and Chris? played twister and one of the guitar players from The End commentated through a mega phone, it was quite funny. after that I sat with DTYK Chris, Tyler, Emily, other people? for a bit then realized the party was getting old and went across the street to Lancasters, Tim and Jon DTF were up still watching porn with Tiff and Emily, so I took part in that for awhile, got a pillow and a blanket and laid in this not very comfortable chair. Tiff made us hot chocolate!! She's really sweet <3. Emily was cold so I gave her my blanket because she's cute. eventually went to sleep at like 3 or 4 am. Woke up, hung out with the Dead To Fall guys FINALLY watched Anchor Man with Tim. after that hung out with guys and Emily and Mahi, and Tiff. Jason desided it was time to go home at like 1, so I got online for like 5 mins, talked to people, the car ride home was actually alright, I wasnt really tired because I actually got some sleep, Came home for a bit, showered, got ready and shit, Jason came and got me again and we went to the venue at like 5, started unloading, and then Nate realized his guitar was gone, so he was kinda pissed, and had to borrow a guitar, not sure who from but it wasnt that great of a guitar at all. We ended up playing through full stacks, we played really bad and like nobody danced, good job Burlington, good job. anyways, KOC played, and they played really good, the covered Down By Law, a Madball song if you didnt know that already, me and Dave got a mic and shared it, it was fun. Ignite The Will was really good, for some reason I can't really get into them, maybe it's because it reminds me of Bled For Days without Thom and Sam? The End played really well they are really sweet guys. Dead To Fall started off with a mighty ducks quack down, and Jon said QUACK on the part where he says go? haha it was funny I laughed for a good minute or two. after their set they played Slaughter of The Soul, an At The Gates cover, and I played bass it was a sweet end to the weekend, after the show I said bye to The End and Dead to fall guys, all the Burlington kids, the rest of my band, KOC and Ignite The Will, the QC guys, loaded my shit up in Ericas car, and went to grab a bite to eat, went to Katies for a bit, and then came home and went to sleep, so I could be rested up for PUBLIC SCHOOL the next day, it sucked, all this week has been hell. I just got done packing because, today is the day I leave for Mayo clinic with Nic because he has to get more tests done on his heart, I could be up there all week, or just until Wednesday night it all depends on ho stuff goes, I might be online every once in awhile, if you want to know how stuff is going just leave me a comment and I'll try to get ahold of you.
